Information on Shirehampton

Shirehampton is a parish about six miles north west of the city centre of Bristol . It is today more of a residential area but has a rich history of its own dating back to the ninth century. It was originally part of the large parish of Westbury-on-Trym and then it was known as a hamlet it was in 1844 that it became a parish in its own right. Part of this parish was formed by Avonmouth which later became a separate parish in 1917. In the 1700s Shirehampton was most famous for its beautiful views, such as Penpole Point where you can see the River Severn and the Welsh hills. From the Elizabethan time up until 1935 Shirehampton belonged to the King's Weston Estates. When the squire died the estate was sold to pay death duties.

Many rich merchants and ship owners moved into the area which made it a fashionable place to live. Many of the large houses were demolished in the 1930's to make way for wider roads.

From the late 1800s people moved into the parish because of the increase in employment in that area due to the opening of the Railway and the opening of the Avonmouth Docks, thus changing the looks of the surrounding country side. After WW1, Shirehampton was chosen as the place to build hundreds of council houses, in the slum clearance scheme operating in Bristol at that time. shire.org.uk

Shirehampton still has the feel of being a village but still has the easy access to the city centre, with easy access to the M4 and the Second Severn Bridge that crosses into Wales . It has a good range of shops, schools, pubs and churches.

If you are planning to book a building survey on a property you are purchasing in Shirehampton or the surrounding area then we would like to assure you that we always send a suitably qualified and experienced surveyor to carry out the job. This ensures that you get expert advice on any issues that we may find with the property we are surveying. All our surveyors are members of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors - RICS - and are Independent Building Surveyors.

All our survey contain lots of images, clearly showing any problems that we have identified at the property such as woodworm, rising damp or cracking to the walls. We also use sketches in our survey which are aimed at helping you to understand how certain areas are constructed or to help show more clearly a problem that we have identified. You will also find lots of definitions of any building terminology that we may use in our survey, as we firmly believe in 'Plain English' and really want you to fully understand what we are saying in the survey report.
